A thyroid blocker, also known as a thyroid antagonist or antithyroid medication, refers to a type of drug used to inhibit the production or action of thyroid hormones. These medications are primarily used in the treatment of hyperthyroidism, a condition where the thyroid gland produces excessive amounts of thyroid hormones, leading to symptoms like rapid heart rate, weight loss, anxiety, and heat intolerance.
